C9 will extend Blaber to 2030 and fire coaching staff again

u/C9-F1R3L0L1 4h ago

Thats probably what will happen tbh, C9 cant fool me anymore. Maybe they change ADC and thats all

u/MrICopyYoSht 4h ago

They have to kick either Thanatos or Loki if they want to do another import, like Taeyoon or Diable. Problem is both Taeyoon and Diable were complete frauds in the LCK come playoffs.

3

u/Mrryn91 4h ago

Tbh a fraud in LCK playoffs is very different than fraud in LCS playoffs. See Morgan. lol

u/MrICopyYoSht 4h ago

I guess, but the whole issue with Diable changing teams was his attitude. Not sure that's the kind of culture/tone you want to set if you're doing a roster reset.

2

u/AbysmalScepter 4h ago

They can get Massu.

3

u/MrICopyYoSht 4h ago

I think Massu would be fine. Would be interested to see how he plays if Vulcan sticks around (doubt, mans looked PISSED). Diable is probably the more mechanically gifted ADC but he's got attitude issues and very coinflippy.

2

u/Tinmanred 4h ago

Diable and taeyoon would both hard stomp all N.A. adcs outside of berserker. And they’d be able to go even against him when he’s on his best characters still more than any the others. It’s not even a close thing either

•

u/JadeStarr776 37m ago

Diable agents would never let him to go NA unless he's getting a crazy ass bag. If he develops well enough he can easily slot into a upper-half LCK team.

1

u/MrICopyYoSht 4h ago

I'm well aware skill wise they're gifted players. But if our goal is to get to Worlds Swiss then stomping most of NA's adcs should be a given. We want to get to and compete with the top teams at Worlds. Not hope to win domestic.

2

u/Tinmanred 4h ago

So uhhhh who the fuck would you want besides an LCK adc that can and has gapped the likes of guma peyz etc in lane before? And one is hard stomping demacia rn? Taeyoon is the highest potential possible signing, doable is second. Do you think that an N.A. team is about to get Guma or Peyz or some fucking shit?

1

u/C9-F1R3L0L1 4h ago

Diable is out of a spot, Deft replaced him, i think we can approach him and get him. Its the most realistic elite ADC we can get, the other guy wants impossibles

2

u/Tinmanred 3h ago edited 3h ago

Ya diable in form can contest any adc. Idk why he thinks a LCK playoff adc choking in LCK playoffs means they can’t play against them. Like we aren’t talking about fn Jiwoo here.

1

u/C9-F1R3L0L1 3h ago

Jiwoo would be a massive upgrade, and he is considered mediocre in LCK. Hell, even guys like Ice could be an upgrade

1

u/Tinmanred 3h ago

It’d be an upgrade not massive. Did you watch demacia? Jiwoo was genuinely the worst player in the entire tournament. Perfect and bdd (and ig cuzz) were 3 vs 7 the entire tourney. Jiwoo and effort are straight up liabilities lol

1

u/MrICopyYoSht 4h ago

Even if they were available, this org is broke lmfao. They can't go after an established name. Will cost too much money.

1

u/Tinmanred 3h ago

That’s my point. So how would be better than mfing TAEYOON OR DIABLE.

•

u/metalXginger93 28m ago

We have actual good native talent in the adc pool ready to go. Especially if you put them with a vet like Vulcan. We do not need to import adc, i'd argue we could do a full rebuild of native talent plus Vulcan if he would want to stay through that. The talent is actually there this off season, and should Thanatos not be on the team next year for any reason, NRG has said that Zamudo visa issues shouldn't be a problem anymore.

•

u/MrICopyYoSht 11m ago

We have talent yea, but established orgs seem to not be interested in fielding rookies. Yukino for example went to Europe when he should've been on a tier 1 LCS team.

u/C9-F1R3L0L1 4h ago

I wish we could get Diable and maybe Darkwings as a mid, that would be a dream tho

1

u/MrICopyYoSht 4h ago

I'd wish they blew up the roster started from a clean slate and get a bunch of rookies that are hungry to make a name for themselves.

u/QuarterDisastrous479 4h ago

They can keep the same roster idgaf. Im done with this mediocre org

5

u/Tinmanred 4h ago

Ya after a decade plus, unless there is 3 roster changes I’m fucking done. More disgusting to be a fan of this team than the fucking angels some fucking how. I say as an angels fan my whole life.

2

u/Booshneer 4h ago

Contracts in LCS can be terminated whenever so who cares.

If I were C9 I'd pick up Massu and Zamudo. That would leave you with 2 import slots for mid and jungle. We saw how River and Quid carried 100T. I don't know if C9 have money like that anymore, but I'd really try to go get the best I can at those spots.

1

u/Mrryn91 4h ago

Hell, take a look at Music on Cupid as well. And maybe Horder too, especially if Zamudo is still in visa hell for some reason.

•

u/metalXginger93 24m ago

NRG has said on twitter his Visa issues shouldn't be a problem anymore and that any Tier 1 org looking to sign him to dm them about how to get him into the US.

•

u/Mrryn91 19m ago

If that's the case, awesome. Dude just seemed cursed for a while and I remember even Thanatos liked scrimming vs him years ago because he was actually hard to lane against. Though I wouldn't be shocked if Lyon scoops him up since he was their intended top this year to begin with.

1

u/B86K 3h ago

Lmao

1

u/No_Meat_7628 3h ago

Music is 3 years older than Yuuji and is a tier below him in just about everything.

1

u/Mrryn91 2h ago

But Yuuji takes up an import slot as well

•

u/KikazaruLOL 7m ago

I'm ignorant here, does Music not? Both liquidpedia and lolpedia have him as Israeli so i assumed he was listed as MENA/EMEA

2

u/Yuzato 3h ago

Zamudo or vet top idk
Raptor
Calix
Massu
Vulcan

2

u/skillfun8 4h ago

What I would do:

Zest

Gryffinn

Kaze

Massu

Vulcan

1

u/BjergCop 4h ago

Loki sucks he can go

Thanatos can stay

Blaber can go

APA probably doesn’t want to stay

Vulcan can stay

3

u/huskeden 4h ago

Fudge

Blaber

Emenes

ScaryJerry

Winsome

u/Tinmanred 4h ago

Are you trying to make one of the worst rosters you can?

1

u/QuietRedditorATX 3h ago

I used to say Jiizuke, he is too old. But the dude was literally the only 1v9 mid in NA after Bjergsen.

1

u/Swimming_Gain_4989 2h ago

Jizuke was frustrating as hell to watch. He was like a poor man's, Chovy perma sidelaning and neglecting to group until he outscaled and then he'd 1v9. It only worked on bad teams who couldn't punish a perma 5v4 gamestate.

1

u/QuietRedditorATX 2h ago

Haha, maybe. I loved watching him, but I wanted to see him with a good team around him. He was always on very weird rosters but managed to elevate them beyond where they should.

brother youre not ready, in 2028 november he will be given lifetime contract and named part owner for his loyal 10 year tenure and contribution to the brand

u/thatanimeguy145 4h ago

You think lcs contracts matter lol. That is funny. Anyone can be let go at anytime. Let's not pretend this doesn't happen.

u/Walnut2500 vulcan fanboy 4h ago

I actually would like to see this roster again for one more split. They do only have one split under their belt as a 5 man.

If they're still bad then uhhhhhhhh

1

u/LoL_Razmus hailife 3h ago

I disagree but only on Blaber he will not change how he plays its been too many years of flashes of brilliance mixed with int and the int usually happening in key games.

If it wasnt so hard to get players mid season I would actually be ok with seeing if Dom can do something with more time even if it has to also include blaber. I just dont think anyone wants another full year of the same thing happening.

1

u/Tinmanred 4h ago

I remember when C9s goal used to be winning games at worlds not… not being dogshit and choking?

u/SchizoDruidEnjoyer 4h ago

Yeah bro me too! So what is all those individual issues have been present for years, i think they just need to combine all pieces of exodia im sure the power of friendship will persevere. Believe in heart of the cards, Yugi

What I hoped we could get if not going for a big name import: Impact Hambak Loki Massu Vulcan

3

u/C9-F1R3L0L1 4h ago

Impact is washed, i would actually poach Darkwings from Sen

1

u/zProtato 3h ago

Impact needs an actual team to perform, he needs a good bot lane so he can play weakside. SEN botlane is straight up dogshit, and impact have shown sign of life multiple times in summer but his adc just cannot play with lead or carrying
